"Altar" lyrics - KEHLANI

Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Nine cups of water, still water
Soon, I'll see your face
Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
I shoulda known better

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

[Chorus:]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
Now you're closer
Closer, woah
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
Now you're closer
Closer, woah, woah

Holdin' on to things you told me
Holdin' on to dreams you showed me
Holdin' on to anything from you
That you've been leavin' here
Now I believe, I swear
I can smell your perfume
Pickin' up your signal like a phonebooth
Keepin' you alive and I do it 'cause I want to

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

[Chorus:]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (Closer)
Closer, woah (Now you're closer)
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (Closer)
Closer, woah, woah (Closer)
